I can start 'boot sr0a:/bsd.rd' but trying to upgrade is the same dead-end road - "sd0 is not a valid root device". 'fdisk sd0' shows the expected '*' before the partition number. 'disklabel sd0' shows the expected fstype "RAID" 'for sd0a. Doing 'bioctl -c C -l /dev/sd0a' says "KDF hint has invalid size". 'installboot -nv sd0a' misses '/usr/mdec/biosboot' - there is only '/usr/mdec/mbr'. While the 'upgrade' started from 'boot sr0a:/bsd.rd' does not see 'sd0' the 'install' process started from the CD actually does. Sigh - I need some sleep...
